Anyone know why charges were filed against the driver? Were there signs of intoxication? The driver was charged with negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

Blindly following a GPS and not actually paying attention to the road and/or signage likely counts

He drove a car into a river.

Interesting in the context of that recent case in which a family is suing Google for inaccurate maps after her husband drove off a broken bridge

Following gps off a bridge at night that didn't have any signs or cones is a lot different than following a gps off road into a river

There's going to be a bit of a surge I bet.
